The Salvation Army of Jackson County - Charitable Organization

Below is the information for The Salvation Army of Jackson County, a Charitable Organization in Pascagoula MS :
Details: The Salvation Army Gulfport Corps officially opened in January 1907 with Captain and Mrs. A. Belcher. The Corps has continually served the Harrison County, Jackson County, Stone County, Hancock County, and Pearl River County communities with character building programs, worship opportunities and vital social service programs since that date. Following Hurricane Katrina the Gulfport Corps merged with The Biloxi Corps, in June 2006, to become Harrison County Corps. In September 2011, with the opening of the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center, the Harrison County Corps moved into the new worship center and is now known as the Kroc Corps. The spirit and vitality of The Salvation Army expressed itself with positive growth along the coast and in March 1966 The Salvation Army Corps in Pascagoula opened under the leadership of Lt. David Bates. The Pascagoula Corps has persevered through good times and hard times offering hope and help to the needy, the hungry, the homeless, the cold and the forgotten. Captains Andy and Jenny Bailey are the current Corps Officers. Five short years later The Biloxi Corps was established under the command of Lt. Benjamin Valdez in February 1971. The Biloxi Corps served Biloxi, Wool Market and D’Iberville from that date until it merged with the Gulfport Corps to become the Harrison County Corps in June 2006. The Salvation Army formed The Mississippi Gulf Coast Area Command in June 2006 under the leadership of Majors Rob and Janine Vincent who came to the coast to help with disaster recovery following Hurricane Katrina. In June 2011 command passed to Majors Tarryl and Sharon Ray who served the entire lower six counties of Southern Mississippi as Area Commanders. September 2011, celebrated the grand opening of The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center. Today we celebrate 106 years of service to South Mississippi with two active Corps, an active Bible Study outreach, a shelter, a community center and social service offices actively working and geographically located in each of these counties, Jackson, George, Harrison, Stone, Hancock, and Pearl River.
